Homebrew Zombie Species Details

A Zombie is an undead that has managed to maintain most of its flesh on its body by the foul energies that continue to fuel its existence. This particular zombie for whatever reason has almost the same level of intelligence as a normal individual, whether they are able to sustain their form without a necromancer or their creator was so powerful that they do not need to be around to maintain their undead, this zombie is an independent individual.

Zombie Traits

A zombie is an undead and with that comes a few perks...

Undeath

Ability Score improvements

As a zombie, your strength of personality is what allows you to maintain independence from your creator and your undead body no longer feels the need to hold back.
